The music & rhythms that started a cultural revolution
In the 1920s, African-American literature, art, music, dance, and social commentary flourished in Harlem, in uptown New York City.
This cultural movement, which redefined African-American expression, became known as the Harlem Renaissance.
Music became the centerpiece that this movement was built around, launching an artistic awakening rather than a social revolt.
Featuring commentary from historians and the performers themselves, this program traces the roots of the music, it's social impact on society and its eventual acceptance in mainstream culture.
Classic performances from Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Nat King Cole are featured as well as 30 minutes of performance extras.
A fabulous look at Harlem and its greatest musicians of the 20s, 30s and 40s: with extraordinary archival, full song performances by Fats Waller (This Joint Is Jumpin', Ain't Misbehaving, Your Feets Too Big), Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (Let's Scuffle), Dorothy Dandridge (Easy Street), Cab Calloway (We The Cats Will Hep You), Mills Brothers (Caravan, Cielito Lindo), Tiny Grimes (Romance Without Finance), Duke Ellington (Cottontail, Satin Doll) , Count Basie (The Start of Something Big, Take Me Back Baby)), Dizzy Gillespie (Salt Peanuts), Sidney Bechet (Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen), Nat King Cole (Frim Fram Sauce, I'm A Shy Guy, That's My Girl, Calypso Blues), Louis Armstrong (Swingin' On Nothin') and others. Featuring commentary by distinguished historians and the performers themselves, this program traces the roots of the music of the Harlem Renaissance, its social impact on society and its eventual acceptance in mainstream culture. 2004 Production. |
